1/8" in size, at least these don't carry Lyme disease pathogens.
Result of nest box checking at the Heard
I pulled 2 deer ticks off of me this morning, but this guy seems much larger and has different patterning on his back
I found this biting me and need to determine whether it’s a deer tick so I can treat preventatively for Lyme disease. I think it’s a dog tick based on the color and markings but any help would be appreciated!
